Just Films 2019

Just Films is a collaboration of five organizations in Pittsburgh committed to women, girls, gender equity, and social justice: the Chatham University Women’s Institute, Gwen’s Girls, the Women and Girls Foundation, the Women’s Law Project, and YWCA Greater Pittsburgh.

We screen eight films from September through March, promoting conversations about social, political, and economic change. Find out about upcoming screenings here.

Acts to Combat Racism

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh commends councilmen Burgess and Lavelle for recognizing racism as a public health crisis and introducing legislation to combat racism. We encourage our leaders to follow the example of the City and we offer YWCA’s Center for Race and Gender Equity as a resource that provides training and advocacy to promote racial justice awareness, educate community members, and encourage dialogue.  Further, YWCA Greater Pittsburgh recommends a focus on improving the conditions of Pittsburgh’s Black and Brown women and girls, who experience the greatest disparities and the most oppression.
